Morgan Housel again got my attention, again.

What he says is so true. Yep, I really admire people who drive a car into the ground!

Enjoy your Sunday.

Love,

Respect and Admiration

By Morgan Housel

I like the idea of the reverse obituary: Write down what you want your obituary to say, then figure out how to live up to it.

Everyone’s will be different, but I suspect most people would want their obituary to say: You were respected. You were admired. You were helpful. You were a good parent, and good spouse, a caring friend. You were an asset to your community. You made a contribution to your industry. You were wise, funny, and smart.

Now realize what’s not in there.

THIS ONE YOU SHOULD PRINT OUT

Ryan Holiday, who wrote “The Obstacle is the Way” and 9 other great books, also writes a blog. Today’s was particularly good. Enjoy my friends! Print it out and tape it to your wall…

The Power of Your Imagination

Hello Readers,

I am taking off a week. Hug yourself and be grateful.

The power of what you conceive…

You can imagine a safe place and then you can imagine that you’re not imagining it.

I found Katsenelson, an investment advisor, husband and father, who blogs on music and life and has written the best-seller Soul in the Game (which I read), urges us to not miss today.

I think I “missed” many days…for years… as I rushed from pillar to post running a business. I am not saying I wasted my time, but I seldom stopped to treasure being alive.

I am going to do what he suggested. What about you? It might help us realize we are alive from the time we roll out of bed until we roll back in at night.

Sending love,

Vicki

Each Day is a Separate Life

Ho Ho Ho Gang –

Bitter pill for some of us… eh?

Well, the older I get the dumber I get and I like it!

Today TalkingBittersweet is featuring an excerpt from Eric Barker’s weekly blog. It is practice stuff on getting your bearings and helping others in a disaster.

I live in earthquake country so I know it is always a possibility that in the next five minutes the earth could open up under me. Or a fire will start and the sky will turn grey and… well…just read it, put the info into your pipe and remember it.

I am 20, high school graduant, in my gap-year and I find it pointless to pursue anything in this bizarre and temporary world that is so much against my values in every way possible. I believe I am speaking for a generation here. I am asking with the biggest admiration, what would you do in my/our situation?
